Manchester City are closing on a deal for Monaco fullback Benjamin Mendy.

The Mirror says City are ready to stump up another £50 million for Mendy after finalising their deal for Kyle Walker.

The Citizens had a bid for the Tottenham right-back accepted yesterday with the England international set to become the most expensive defender ever.

After finally completing a move for Walker, 27, City are ready to spend the same amount on Monaco full-back Mendy.

The French international has become one of the most highly sought-after defenders in the world after helping Monaco to the Ligue 1 title.

City have been monitoring the former Marseille star for a number of months and are now willing to stump up the cash to get their man.
